Our triple garage is under the main roof with R6.0 batts there too and it gets hot. Your doors "attract" that heat and it goes in there. I have installed some small windows in the garage plus an automatic extraction fan which draws the heat out and it works a treat. Dropped temp by almist 10 deg the other day when it was 40 outside.
